Divide a single date

[ajithsk]

Hi,

 

I want to divide a date into half or anyway.

Suppose for eg. I want to take records of date in 2010-01-01, I want that to be divided into equal intervals and after that I want output interval as date itself.

Is it possible in php

 

 

Regards

Ajith

Despite your example, I still have no idea what you mean. are you looking to split the date up into month,year,day?

 

by divide what do you mean? as this is also a maths function. please clarify further

 

thanks

Hi,

 

I dont  want spliting a date into year, month and date. Instead I need 2012-01-01 itself to be divided

Divided into what?  Show a before and after.

Dan, don't you know there are 3 quirklocks in a day? Sheesh. This is basic stuff, why can't PHP do it magically?

(20120-1-01 00:01 - 20120-1-01 07:59) ;

(20120-1-01 08:00 - 20120-1-01 15:59) ;

(20120-1-01 16:00 - 20120-1-01 11:59)

?

so essenetially you want to split a 24hour period equally and show it as a timestamp? or something like that? although your example does exclude the first minute of said period.

 

I am guessing this split could be 2,3 ,4 or more? thus becoming 12hr,8hr,6hr etc periods?

That was a different poster.  OP still hasn't told us what he means, we're all just guessing.

I want to divide by 0.

[Jessica]

I want to divide by 0.

In Soviet Russia, 0 divides YOUUUUUU

[premiso]

In Soviet Russia, 0 divides YOUUUUUU

 

Chuck Norris is the only known person to have successfully divided by zero.

I don't always do division, but when I do, I always divide by 0.

Based on OP's only other post, we're not going to get a better explanation out of them, so I'm going to close this thread before it turns into a meme contest.

[ManiacDan]

Unlocked on the off chance OP has something to say, and because Jesi's had a bad day.

[Jessica]

Woot woot.

 

I'll behave now.

=\ I thought that was the whole point of this thread...

<?php
    $numdivs = 3; // or however many you need
    
    $divsecs = 86400/$numdivs;
    
    $basedate = '2010-01-01';
    $basetime = strtotime($basedate);
    
    echo '<pre>';
    for($i=0; $i < $numdivs; $i++) {
        $t1 = $basetime + $i * $divsecs;
        $t2 = $t1 + $divsecs - 1;
        printf ('%s to %s<br>', date('d M Y H:i:s', $t1), date('H:i:s', $t2));
    }
    echo '</pre>';
?>

Another reason I wanted to close this thread is because of this.  While this code does something, we have no way of knowing if it's what OP wanted.  the "problem" you solved was someone's random guess as to what OP could possibly have meant. 

[Jessica]

Dan you can close it, I don't care :-P

[ManiacDan]

Dan you can close it, I don't care :-P

Maybe he'll come back.

At least it's a reasonable interpretation of his post, unlike some of the more inane comments. You should at least give the OP a chance to respond.
